Watercolour Palette Cleanup - Getting set for new paintings! @LouDavis
Watercolour Palette Cleanup - Getting set for new paintings!  @LouDavis
Uploaded February 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
A twice-yearly routine for me is clearing out my small watercolour palette and choosing a selection of colours to work with for the next few months. This time I was feeling like I wanted to work with some deep reds and greys so chose some new paints to test, and chose a selection of paints to go with them.
